Learning outcomes

Studies in the student’s own discipline (History) consist of attending the doctoral seminar over several terms and of optional studies that support the student in writing his or her dissertation.

Working in the seminar (15 ECTS) means attending a seminar for postgraduate students organised by the discipline and, in addition, attending a themed seminar chosen according to the student’s research topic.

A joint seminar for all doctoral students is organised twice a year, in the autumn and spring terms. In these seminars, each doctoral student presents his/her research three times as follows: 1) a research plan, 2) a presentation of the methods and 3) a presentation of the dissertation itself after the manuscript is ready.

The theme seminars (research groups) in which the students present their research are held regularly during the semesters. Doctoral students are required to attend the joint doctoral seminars and the theme seminars regularly for three years.

Other studies (at least 15 ECTS) are divided into modules (a-d below), and students must earn credits in at least three of the modules (5 ECTS each). What exactly these studies consist of is agreed upon between student and supervisor.

a) Participating in the teaching of the student’s own discipline (5 ECTS)

b) Participating in international postgraduate studies (one or two postgraduate courses equal 5 ECTS)

c) Scientific publishing (one refereed scientific publication equals 5 ECTS)

d) Presentations at scientific conferences (two scientific presentations equal 5 ECTS)
